Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey fellow WPers,
So the Law School (Washington and Lee University, not to be confused with Washington University on the same page) I work at had a student video competition and they're national finalists. I said I would do whatever I could to help, so this is what I know best to get a shit ton of votes quickly!
Video is outstanding:

i voted. very good video production and smart lyrics. really really impressed.
I think the issue/theme discussed will not be easily understood to people outside the law school bubble.
I had trouble following the theme/issue addressed and I went to law school.
law review is a periodic publication by a law school addressing various issues/cases in the legal world.
typically made up of the brown nosing, suck ups and smart people who want everyone to know they are smarter than you. they form their own study groups and dont let "outsiders" in or share course outlines bc it would actually help other people and effect the curve.
I am guessing it was about how students who are not on the law review who want to have their article included .... the part im guessing at is that female write-in submissions are selected less than male write-ins?
if that is the theme, i didnt know that was a problem as law review at my school was women majority. i thought law review just hated everyone who wasnt law review, regardless of gender.
any selection committee might be hesitant to declare you all the winner bc it might give your theme validity .. when im not sure many know it is a problem or it might be a problem specific to washington and lee or ppl might just not want to acknowledge it. if it is just based upon viewer anonymous votes, than this wont be a problem.
ps - i talk to much about things i know nothing about and i apologize for that.

Honestly, I just fix their computers, so I have no idea of the dynamic, LOL.
Bunch of really nice/cool kids in there, so I said I'd help them out! Thanks for voting though.
